Beyond Good & Evil HD on PSN in May

The HD revamp of Ubisoft's 2003 adventure classic Beyond Good & Evil will be available on PlayStation Network in May in the US, the publisher has announced.

The game's associate producer Eric Damian-Vernet wouldn't give the US PlayStation Blog a more precise date, or reveal whether it will arrive in Europe at the same time, but did reveal a few purchase incentives.

PlayStation Network members who pick up the game during its first two weeks on release will receive two free avatars – one of heroine Jade and one of sidekick Pey'j.

The game launched on Xbox Live Arcade earlier this month, picking up an impressive 9/10 from Eurogamer's Dan Whitehead.

"If, like me, you let this one pass you by, there's no excuse not to rectify that mistake now," he wrote.
